Learn Danish: Insects and Bugs – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Danish word goes with which picture? That is what your child works out here, by joining the matching pairs. On one side stand the ants, bees and ladybugs as drawings; opposite them their Danish names, pleasantly jumbled. Your child reads the Danish vocabulary, glances at the pictures, and then draws a line between a picture and its right word. With every connection they make, it sinks in a little more how the Danish name of a familiar thing looks and sounds. So their Danish vocabulary grows piece by piece, with no pressure and no rush. Let your child think and try in their own time; a line may always be drawn again. By the end, a line runs from every picture to the matching Danish word.

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right Danish word. The ants, bees and ladybugs stand ready as pictures, with their Danish names beside them. Your child reads, thinks, and draws a line to the right word. So they learn to connect a picture with its written Danish name — no pressure, at their own pace, with no score. Because nothing has to be written, reading and recognizing take centre stage, and that is just what makes first steps into Danish so light and welcome for your child. Danish often sounds softer than it looks, so a word can be written one way and spoken a little more gently.

Has your child had so much fun connecting? Then there is plenty more to discover! The matches about the forest creatures and the ones with instruments hold fresh pictures and new Danish words looking for their partners. And once your child is in the swing of it, a whole free collection built around the bugs is ready to go — free to print or simply to play online. That way learning Danish stays varied and gives a little fresh pleasure each day, all at your child’s own pace. Have fun reading, thinking, and connecting together!
